Invitations are sent before all results are confirmed. To remain eligible to attend, you must achieve a pass and have your award conferred by the published deadline for that set of ceremonies.

If you need to re-sit an assessment that takes you past the award deadline, you will no longer be able to attend the upcoming ceremonies. Instead, your place will be deferred to the next set of ceremonies (Summer or Winter, depending on when you complete your studies). You will also receive an ineligibility email explaining this.

Students on non-standard courses that do not meet the semester two award board deadline will be invited to attend Winter Graduation instead.

No, this change does not impact when you receive your award, only when you attend your graduation ceremony. 

• Students who pass in Semester 2 and receive their award by 30th June will attend Summer Graduation in July. 

• Students who resit in July will receive their award in August and be invited to attend Winter Graduation in January. 

Finalist students on courses due to finish before or in time for the semester two award boards in June will soon be invited to register for Summer Graduation. Look out for an email from noreply@wlv.ac.uk and visit the graduation page of e: Vision to register. 

All updates will be sent via email from noreply@wlv.ac.uk, so please check your inbox regularly. Updates will also be published on the relevant webpages, so please visit www.wlv.ac.uk/graduation for further details. 

Don't worry—graduation ceremonies are large events, with thousands of students from across all courses split between Summer and Winter ceremonies. Whichever period you attend, you are likely to be celebrating alongside fellow students from your course.  

Qualifying awards confirmed after 30th June 2025 and on or before 3rd December 2025 are expected to be invited to Winter Graduation in January 2026.  

Qualifying awards confirmed after 3rd December 2025 through to Semester Two June boards 2026 will be eligible for the next Summer Graduation ceremonies in 2026.
